My futile attempt to eat healthfully lasted four days

EL PASO – More and more people in the world are suffering from diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and cancer because of their eating habits, but many of us sometimes change healthy food for better-tasting foods that are not suitable for a daily diet. Since eating healthfully is becoming a trend and I’m a junk-food lover, I decided to change my eating habits to improve my fitness and health. A few months ago, I started working out at the gym, but I knew I would also have to make better meal choices if I wanted to adopt a healthier lifestyle. After reading blogs and health magazines online, I decided that I would give organic food a try, at least for a week. First, I thought about the types of foods I would eat during that week.
